Almost two decades on, a marriage and four studio albums, the LA based duo JOHNNYSWIM complete the pentalogy with the raw and recently released album, When the War is Over, providing an insight into their individual feuds with self discovery, heritage, emotional and health challenges.

Last year (2024) should be confidently considered the year of Irish breakthroughs, and amongst the pioneering Fontaines DC and anti colonial Kneecap, you will also find the smooth, silky wordsmith that is Curtisy.

Grammy Award Winners, OK Go's long-awaited return with The Adjacent Possible marks a striking evolution in their musical journey, as the band takes bold steps into new sonic territories - whilst still maintaining their signature creativity.

With punchy lyrics that hit the feels written by Dinning, a strong and melodic production, and best-selling vocal work, this song makes it easy to see why Dinning has been penned as ‘writing the soundtrack for the queer kids’. “Look Who’s Holding the Gun” for Dinning is not so much about love in general, it goes deeper in meaning. He hopes the song helps people recognise that you can’t help who you love but you can begin to see when someone isn’t in a position to give love to us. 

An Aussie festival staple, the producer behind the A-League’s theme song, winner of Queensland’s 2021 best electronic track, Young Franco has popped up from Down Under with his debut album, It’s Franky Baby!

The seventh album of the Grammy-award nominated producer, TOKiMONSTA, continues her journey of genre-bending, electro-focused, fearless yet progressive stamps on the US dance scene.

Coming off the heels of announcing their first UK Tour with some of their biggest headline shows to date, The Redroom have released their brand-new single “The Fear”. This is the first single from the upcoming debut EP, ‘Liminal Space’, recorded in Liverpool’s iconic Motor Museum Studios. 

The more I explored Hannah Diamond’s music, the more I realised that it was the sincerity behind the cutesy sound and style that set Diamond apart from her peers, creating this uncanny valley effect that is both superficial and achingly real. In a world where irony and cynicism are all too prevalent, the sincerity of her lyrics feels oddly refreshing. Perfect Picture picks apart the layers in the Photoshopped world of Miss HD and allows us to see her as she really is. 

Following the release of their swaggering and introspective new album Reason Enough, London four-piece Crows have embarked on a highly anticipated European tour. The band, known for their intense live shows and post-punk sound, have received support from the like of 6 Music, Radio 1 and The Observer, so it’s no surprise The Exchange is packed for their first gig in Bristol in over two years.
